This blueberry cobbler was requested by so many people when I asked for blueberry recipes that you wanted lightened up. So happy because this is delicious!
What is a cobbler?
Cobblers can vary depending on where you live. Some cobblers have a biscuit like topping, but I made my cobbler with a cake like base. Actually I used an old pancake recipe on my blog to make the cake and it is so light and delicious. Note, the cake is not overly sweet, so feel free to add additional no calorie sweetener to your taste. With the sweet blueberry topping though, I think this is the perfect combination.
What ingredients do you need to make a cobbler?
You may already have many of the ingredients in your pantry to make this cobbler:
- flour
- no calorie sweetener (I used Truvia)
- baking powder
- salt
- lemon juice
- unsweetened almond milk
- light butter
- blueberries
- sugar
- cornstarch
How do you make a cobbler?
Simply mix the batter together and place in a 1.5 quart baking dish. Mix the berry topping and place on top of the batter. This literally comes together in five minutes. Then bake and enjoy!

This looks delicious, but, technically, it is not a cobbler. The definition of a fruit cobbler: “Cobbler is a dessert consisting of a fruit (or less commonly savory) filling poured into a large baking dish and covered with a batter, biscuit, or dumpling (in the United Kingdom) before being baked.” So, this looks like a yummy, fruit-topped cake. I wonder if the cake batter could be poured over the top of the fruit?
I think you are right – people are telling me that I made a buckle, which is cake on the bottom and fruit on top. Whatever it’s called it was delicious! I will try it again next time pouring the batter over the top – we shall see!
